A note for senior pastors and church leadership teams:
Your youth minister is navigating a landscape that looks nothing like what you experienced at their age — or even five years ago.
Mental health complexity. Digital culture. Post-COVID disconnection. Faith deconstruction. And they're often doing it as a solo operator with limited peer support.
One of the highest-return investments you could make this year is giving them four days to think, learn, and plan alongside other practitioners. Not a holiday. Not a reward. A strategic investment in the person carrying one of the most complex portfolios in your church.
We're putting something together for June that's designed for exactly this. Details coming soon.
In the meantime — ask your youth minister how they're really going. You might be surprised by the answer.
